I used the postfix config file from c7 and the problem went away.

So there appears to be a problem with stream8 postix config file.

I noticed that :

stream server has owner/group vmail mail

and

centos 7 server has owner/group user mail

[Namaste]

From postfix main.cf I see something in rules restrictions

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_whitelist, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_blacklist, reject_unauth_destination, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net

All of this happened after I upgraded to PRO.

The correct ownership for that files is not "scanmyid:mail", but "vmail:mail" instead.

I don't know why you change that ownership to "scanmyid" user, but you need to change to "vmail" user.

You can do it with:

# chown -R vmail:mail /var/vmail/


[studio4host]

you should run this api command to fix mail permissions

Set quota for all email accounts based on the uid from the postfix.mailbox table

[Namaste]

Thats good to know.  I searched wiki and it did not get indexed.

I removed some lines from main.cf that were not present in centos 7 panel.  I am curious if I put them back if the problem will return.  I may be talking about two different issues at this point.  I'll be back if the main.cf is not working with default settings.

Also.....why are we using a version of postfix which is 2 years old?  i.e. 3.4.5

[Namaste]

So, My deferred queue is full of spam.....and thats good.

But, my legitimate mail is also in the queue and will not be processed until I remove the spam from the queue.

[Namaste]

From postfix main.cf I see something in rules restrictions

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_whitelist, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_blacklist, reject_unauth_destination, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net

Shouldnt the reject_non_fqdn_sender rule be in the "smtpd_sender_restrictions" and not in the "smtpd_recipient_restrictions" rules.

[Namaste]

permit_mynetworks, must be FIRST in the

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = String.

Default cwp postfix main.cf config is second position, at least in the Stream servers.

This info seems to be incorrect. I have two other bugs relating to the domain folders inside the vmail folder having vmail:mail ownership instead of user:mail. So, they shouldnt be chowned vmail:mail
